The $2.2M AI Intern That Eliminates Busywork with Jan Heimes & Onur Eken
Needle AI isn’t just another ChatGPT wrapper — it’s building the AI intern your company actually needs.
In this episode, Rick Koleta sits down with Jan Heimes and Onur Eken, co-founders of Needle-AI.com, to unpack how they raised $2.2M to help companies become AI-enabled in one day.
We dive into:
Why most AI tools become shelfware (and how Needle avoids it)
Their pivot from RAG APIs to a full-stack execution layer
The “intern, not overlord” mindset for integrating AI
What convinced investors to back them early
Their hybrid GTM motion: grassroots traction meets top-down sales
How they build trust, ship fast, and get teams live in minutes
Needle connects to Gmail, Notion, HubSpot, Google Drive and more — giving you a command center for executing real work, not just chatting.
